Hi all, Installed 16gig of RAM instead of my 8gig's which were in the same slots (as per the mobo manual) Tried BOOT advanced options -> uncheck maximum memory Tried system properties -> advanced > performance > virtual memory > no paging file. You can find images of BIOS and Task manager...

Hi, I recently installed better RAM for my PC, and I have them installed in the A,B,A,B pattern with my other two RAM - since a friend suggested that may be why my PC wasn't using all my RAM. But it still says that 24 GB of RAM is installed but there's only 11 Physical Memory. I'm really...

Yes. This was totally stupid and I dont know what I expected. Now all I have is a black screen. After this accident I tried restarting my pc -nothing happened-, so I tried booting into BIOS, but the screen stayed black. Then I removed my SSD to, in my idea, force the pc to go into BIOS, but...

I have an I7-4790K AND A 1080TI. My friend has a i7-8500k and normal 1080. We're both in the division 2 beta looking at the same spots and he gets 120 fps where I get 90~... is my CPU really that outdated against his? Before I buy a new CPU I am asking if the CPU is indeed "the problem"...

Recently i got a new gpu ( gtx 1070ti) and i have been having a bit of trouble in some games like csgo and overwatch. in csgo i cant get a constant 144 fps and my gpu is around 40-50% usage. my cpu is at around 60% usage ( ryzen 5 1600 ) and im just not happy the way that the game is performing...

Hi I have a palit 980ti super jetstream which has been working perfectly for the last 3+ years. All of a sudden it has started causing the pc to crash and reboot with a power surge protection warning when system reboots. It will work with no problems in windows but as soon as I try and play a...

My friend is giving me his ECC ram but I was planning on buying this motherboard: MSI B250M PRO-VDH LGA 1151 mATX. Would this motherboard work with ECC ram? I'm aware I can't use the "ECC features", but would it still work as regular ram in this motherboard at least? Thanks!

Hi, Basically my pc wont boot at all. I never actually booted is before as i bought used parts, but im 100% sure everything is fine with mobo. Im getting the red dram indicator. When i try to press memo ok button, red light starts flashing, pc restarts, then red lights starts flashing rapidly...

I’m building a new computer right now. However, when I load my mobo’s BIOS, (MSI X470 Gaming Plus), it doesn’t recognize the M.2 even though I already inserted it into the motherboard. Also, Windows 10 installation media couldn’t recognize it as well. I have no other form of storage besides the...

Hello, I recently purchased case fans, which are unfortunately unthreaded. After doing some reading, this seems to be the norm, and installing them is hard, but manageable. Not so for me: I can't get the screws in without jamming them. They'll always tilt. I already stripped a screw, when I...

I recently finished building a pc and when I went to change from my internal graphics to a new graphics card (zotac gtx980 amp extream) the bios pops up prompting me like normal to push f2 to enter setup or f7 for quick menu it doesnt boot up to windows like normal and I can’t use my keyboard to...

I recently wanted to partition my hard drive (1TB HDD operating as my D drive, I also have an almost full 128GB SSD operating as my C drive) to dual boot Ubuntu and Windows. When I went to create the partition, it said that I had less than 30 GBs available to partition. I have more than 450 GBs...

My problem exactly is how I could change the fans speed in my case. My case is the Corsair Crystal 460x RGB which comes with three RGB fans at the front of the case for intake. Each fan has two connectors (one for power and one for the RGB). The case also comes with a fan hub to connect the...
